Carrie Prejean: She's Good Enough, She's Smart Enough, and Doggone It, She's Writing A Book
Carrie Prejean Out to Prove She Has the Write Stuff

http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/marc_malkin/b135197_carrie_prejean_out_prove_she_has_write.html



Carrie Prejean is writing a book, and it has nothing to do with learning how to give the perfect beauty queen wave.

Ultraconservative publishing house Regnery Publishing announced yesterday that it has inked a deal with the dethroned Miss California for her first book, Still Standing.

So what will it be about? And will Prejean actually write it herself?

The 22-year-old former lingerie model will rehash the gay marriage controversy that eventually left her tiara-less but a superstar of the right wing.

"It's not a book about gay marriage," Regnery president and publisher Marji Ross told me earlier today. "It's not a book about traditional marriage...She wanted to write a book about freedom of speech and the double standard that seems to exist when someone speaks their mind and doesn't happen to be politically correct or consistent with what a crazy Hollywood celebrity thinks is the right answer."

Ross insists Prejean will not have a ghostwriter. "It's not one of these things where she's only the face and it's not her words," she said. "She's writing it."

With an initial print run of about 100,000, Still Standing will be released in November.

5. Surely the FDA will ban the book...
...on the basis that attempting to read her vapid insights will cause a sharp drop in IQ as your brain cells commit suicide.

7. Uh-huh -
Doesn't she have to know how to read a book before she tries to write one?

And who among us believes that she's really going to do all the writing herself?

These Christians.

Don't they know it's a sin to tell a lie?

9. 100,000 very expensive doorstops
actually, $3.99 for a doorstop ain't half bad. :eyes:

This has the potential to make Caribou Barbie's upcoming magnum opus look like Shakespeare. :puke:

13. Ann Coulter should write it for her.
In fact Coulter should start publishing her columns and books under Prejean's name, now that Ann's getting a bit long in the tooth for the taste of conservative men, while her appeal is largely based on sexual attraction.
